The bird/owl/tree fashion statement as overcomed my life. So when these wire bird's nests started popping up....I just HAD to make one!
As always- I hate going out and buying NEW materials. So what is this made out of....the inside of TWISTY TIES!
So how do you make this? Grab a few plastic pearls, twisty ties, and either tweezers or I used pliers!
Not all twisty ties may work like this- but mine did atleast! I got a little end of the wire- grabbed it with my pliers, and pulled it out of the plasticy/paper part!

Then I grabbed 3 pearls, strung them on my first wire, and twisted it around itself to keep them in place.
Then I used about 5 ties to wind them through the pears and twist them up to look like a nest! I added a little necklace hoop and thought it made a pretty cute necklace!

this is the smartest thing!!
i have been wanting to do that same thing but i'm to cheap to buy wire and tools for jewelery making. i also dont have space for much more crafting stuff.
Very cute!! I'm definitely going to have to give it a try this weekend!!
WOW, this is amazing! You are so talented :)
Genius! Thanks for sharing the idea.
That's a great idea! I like the idea of giving it a try with items on hand before using anything expensive. I'm also big on upcycling, so this qualifies. I think I have some plastic pearls from an old necklace around here somewhere...
OK...Now I HAVE to have one! I LOVE IT! Off to make mine! Thank you THank you! I'm your newest follower!
Very creative... I really like the bird nest thing too... keeps poping up all around.
have a great weekend.
Ohhh, I love it, its so precious...

That is adorable and innovative to use the twisty ties! (And I've heard that about law school. Good luck.)
